Grumpy little guys indeed. You may want to draw and opossum (or possum as we call them in the U.S.). They are very odd creatures. I got to babysit some for a friend who had a license to save them and built a possum halfway house in her back yard.

Possum’s are oddly cute. They don’t seem to friendly, though. I really wanted to pet a baby possum I saw a few years back, but thought better of it when it opened its mouth wide and showed me its sharp teethies.
Possums are very sweet and shy and even if they bite, it is only because they are scared to death. One bit me when, while babysitting, when I dragged it out from under a piece of furniture. It didn't hurt. Problem is that they do not live for very long - a couple of years, and they get sick easily. And they will try to eat anything they come across, like tubes of toothpaste or cleaning products.
Aw, poor dudes.
